"Las Vegas International Auto Parts Exhibition" is the world's largest auto manufacturing parts exhibition. It is jointly organized by the American Association of automotive industries (Asia), the American Association of automotive and process equipment manufacturers (Mema) and the American Auto Parts Association (APAA). It is supported by the U.S. Department of Commerce and held once a year. The exhibition area is more than 100000 square meters. In 2006, 2069 exhibitors from 40 countries and regions participated in the exhibition, and the number of visitors reached 117800. In 2007, there will be more than 3000 exhibitors, and more than 100 technical seminars will be held during the conference. The exhibition represents the world's first-class automobile and parts product level.

The automobile industry is the pillar industry of China's national economy. According to the planning target of the automobile industry in the national "11th Five Year Plan", by 2010, the demand of China's automobile market will reach 8-9 million, the output of automobiles will be about 10 million, and the level of automobile will reach 40 vehicles / 1000 people. At present, although the production technology of automobile castings in China has made great progress, there is still a big gap compared with developed countries. There are relatively few internationally competitive products, and some high demand cylinder blocks and cylinder head castings still need to be imported. This year's Las Vegas International Auto Parts Exhibition will display the world's top level auto parts products and production equipment, and provide relevant services such as technical exchange and business negotiation. It is a good opportunity for Chinese auto parts manufacturers to understand the international market situation, explore the Latin American market, and improve their technological innovation ability and management level. Therefore, we plan to organize a delegation to visit the "Las Vegas International Auto Parts Exhibition" in the United States on October 28, 2007, and stay in the United States for 8 days.
